Planning Thai street food van hire in Rettendon
Rettendon has grown a lot in recent years, with 68% of its homes built since 2000. Newer estates mean lots of young families, so children's birthdays, christenings and housewarmings suit the area.
Rettendon has plenty of larger family homes, with room for a bigger guest list at home. In bigger houses we can serve indoors in the kitchen or conservatory and cook outside, keeping cooking smells out of the house.
Three in four homes in Rettendon (87%) are detached or semi-detached, so most hosts have a garden or driveway to work with. Our food van needs a level pitch about the size of two parking bays, which many driveways and side gardens here can offer.
Food van access in Rettendon
